Homeless Guy Gets 180 Days in Jail for Stealing $2 Worth of Candy

Delvis Rodriguez-Ramos, a 21-year-old homeless man, was sentenced to 180 days in jail for stealing a Twix and a Snickers from an Ocala, Florida, store.

The total price for both candies: $2.

We're not sure which is the bigger outrage here: the punishment, or the outrageously cheap prices that store sells its candy for!

Rodriguez-Ramos was already on probation for retail petty theft, and on top of the sentencing, County Judge John Futch tagged him with a $500 fine.

Futch don't fuck around.

According to the Ocala Star-Banner, an astute employee at the store noticed the candy missing Saturday.

This guy notices two candy bars missing? Someone's bucking for a promotioooooon!!

Rodriguez-Ramos, who was loitering around the store, was apparently confronted about it. But he denied taking the candy.

Then, on Monday morning, perhaps because he was filled with remorse when the supercrazy sugar rush wore off, Rodriguez-Ramos went back to the store and confessed that he did, in fact, take the Twix and Snickers. He claimed that he hadn't eaten in days.

The employee then reportedly asked him to come back the next day to talk about it. When Rodriguez-Ramos showed up, the employee called the cops.
